Replacing the categories on home page with an image map..

Have a question regarding changing the layout on the home page. What I need to do is to remove the current listing of categories(which is a list of the states) and replace it with an image map - a map of the USA with each state a hyperlink to its subcategories. Like on Rent Clicks. I see on the home.tpl.php in my templates file the code (I think) starting {html table adv loop=... up to {/html table adv} which I think is the code to display the categories(states). When I display the home page as in www.property4payoff.com and display source, I see all the actual links - such as
<a href="category.php?type=493"><img src='templates/RedBlack/images/folder.gif' border='0' alt='AK' /></a> <a href="category.php?type=493"><strong>AK</strong></a>
(1)
<br />
<div class="small"><a href="category.php?type=493&sec=544">Houses</a> <a href="category.php?type=493&sec=545">Town Homes</a> <a href="category.php?type=493&sec=546">Condos</a> ...</div>
So I am thinking that I must delete the code {html adv loop.. on the home.tpl.php page and replace with an image map where I have actually filled each link in. I realize if categories change the links are off.
Am I on the right track??

By the way, I am impressed with this software - very nice.

Okay - so I did what I described above and it worked. Just posting this in case anyone else had the same question. See www.property4payoff.com and the home page shows the image map.
